If you are looking for help with your boat, it helps to have the specifics of your boat, motor, trailer in your signature. Also helps to know your location and type of fishing you do. (Or other use, like cruising)

I'm new to the Arima family. After 40 years of living in Oregon and having various ski boats my wife and I moved back to the Puget Sound area. At my age getting drug around behind a ski boat was not in my future. I had heard that Arima made a great boat for fishing and crabbing on the Sound so I finally found one for me. I'm happy to say I'm now a proud owner of a 16 foot Sea Chaser.

Hopefully, you all can give me pointers.

Welcome Boddydog! My first pointer is to go fishing ASAP. Even if you don't catch anything, you will enjoy it.

I purchased a 1989 16' Sea Explorer this time last year, my first Arima. It now has my 2016 Honda 60 on it, and I've slowly been replacing some old parts on it. Just got back from fishing out of Newport and Astoria, boat handles great. I really love this site, so many helpful tips.

Hey! My name is Matt I live in Astoria, Oregon and after 17 years with a 19 foot Alumaweld I finally made the upgrade to a 2016 21' SR HT. Big motor is Yamaha 200 and the kicker is a 9.9. Looking forward to extending my range in ocean fishing, even tuna if they decide to come closer than this year!

From fishing springers in the Columbia River to spot prawns out of Keyport. I'm ecstatic that this Arima will be a great choice!

Hello. I am a new, or at least new to me Arima owner. 1995 17' Sea Ranger. Couldn't be happier with my boat, of course had a few large credit card bills along the way but all is in great shape now! New top, a lot of elbow grease and a few motor parts, well a lot of motor parts... I followed your site for a year or two before I made my purchase. Great information and great boats!

short story is they are at the bottom of puget sound ...I'll down load some from my new phone and post. Never put your phone in a loose pocket while getting in a kayak from your Arima while it's on a mooring buoy...
